August 21 – Two German legends, Matthäus and Hamann, recently appeared on Germany’s Sky Sports to predict the outcome of the upcoming Bundesliga season, which kicks off this weekend. Matthäus believes Bayern Munich will regain the title after significant changes this summer, while Hamann believes Leverkusen will continue to reign supreme under the leadership of Xabi Alonso.
In Matthäus’ predicted Bundesliga standings for the new season, Bayern, Leverkusen, Dortmund, and RB Leipzig will occupy the top four positions. The two promoted teams, St. Pauli and Kiel, will be relegated directly, while Bochum will be entangled in a relegation playoff.
Hamann predicts Leverkusen will beat Bayern to defend their title, last season’s surprise package Stuttgart may miss out on European qualification, Bochum and Kiel will be relegated, and St. Pauli will secure their survival.
